The Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) designation is the undisputed professional credential for IS audit, control, assurance and/or security professionals who wish to set themselves apart from their peers. The CISA certification has been renowned as the globally recognized achievement for those who control, monitor and assess an organization’s information technology and business systems.


Curriculum

The content of the exam is continuously modified to reflect changes in technology and practices. Every five years or sooner, a thorough job practice analysis is conducted to determine the tasks and knowledge required of individuals aspiring to become CISAs. Below are the various content areas and examination weighting percentages:
  • The IS Audit Process (10%)
  • IT Governance (15%)
  • Systems and Infrastructure Life Cycle Management (16%)
  • IT Service Delivery and Support (14%)
  • Protection of Information Assets (31%)

Examination Requirements

The CISA exam is a four-hour, 200 multiple-choice question, computer-administered exam. The exam is administered twice per year, in June and December, at an internationally recognized professional testing agency.

Approximately two to three weeks prior to the CISA exam date, candidates will receive both a physical admission ticket and an e-ticket. Tickets will indicate the date, registration time and location of the exam, as well as a schedule of events for that day and a list of materials candidates must bring with them to take the CISA exam.

Candidates will be notified of their test scores via mail approximately eight (8) weeks after the test date. Successful candidates will receive, along with a score report, an application for CISA certification. Unsuccessful candidates will receive, along with a score report, a copy of the new CISA Bulletin of Information.
